We understand too - we just like to give the hockeydude a little crap every now and then. If we are too rough on him, we will find our prized 944s filled with goldfish. Right Rocko?

Cup-man, maybe bring it over to the fest and let Nellie see her in person. There will be plenty of wrenches available to do a PPI.

If the weather is hot, and I can use the A/C, you may see it. I'll bring the title just in case.

So what kind of repairs will nine-44 (Andy K.) be needed to perform at this year's fest? Last year was a doozy - in-the-field head gasket repair! Good luck to everyone on the drive in.

Say It Isn’t So!

Travis, did I miss my first DE opportunity at the Fest? Is registration really closed? This sucks!!!!!!!!!

Can I at least ride along with someone if I bring my helmet?
I just replaced my clutch and did a torque tube rebuild so I could have this car on the track.
If for some unfortunate reason someone can’t make the DE, can I be on a stand-by list and possibly fill in?
